We consulted different electronic databases from 1998 to December 2015 and conducted a specific review of self- esteem components of the studies in relation to non-vocational outcomes with an Individual Placement and Support (IPS) strategy. We reviewed a total of 363 references, 83 were selected and 14 included: 9 randomized clinical trials, 1 systematic review and 4 comparative studies. We analysed the methodological quality of each of these studies using the Jadad, the Oxman and the Estabrooks scales. The findings on effectiveness in relation to non-vocational outcomes are not consistent and the evidence is still very weak.
